Can't remember the name of that game from your past?

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

I recall playing a browser game (that took place in prehistory) where you had to break bad eggs while avoiding to break good eggs, it had several sequels

 

[NeonKnights]

The other game I was thinking of was Dark Orbit another Wild Tangent game.

 

[Sonic Boomer]

There are two games I'm sure I didn't make up, both arcade games and both should technically not exist.

Game 1:
One was a Giana Sisters style game where you played as a blue and red girl, they weren't chibi like the Giana Sisters designs but more realistic looking. I remember seeing it in the mid 90's at a big arcade when I was on my way with my grandpa to a new PC game from a store there (Arcade America I believe). So this was around 1996ish.
Being a huge Giana Sisters fan as a kid, it struck me as very odd to see an arcade version with 16bit visuals that was so similar to Giana Sisters/Mario. I know that the demo had both sisters playing co op, it had the amber pipes and everything. The level in the demo was sunset colored.

Game 2:
I was 7 or so and we went on vacation in this lake town here in Macedonia, Doiran. There was an arcade nearby (Macedonia had arcades in the 80's and 90's at every corner and I was living in heaven back then) and one of the games was something that, again, shouldn't exist.
It was Altered Beast but with "chibi" characters and background similar to that of Contra Arcade.
The Arcade would freeze up all the time and I remember the grandma who was selling coins there told me not to play it but I just had to try it out, sure enough it froze up half way through the first level.

I'd say it was the Famicom altered beast in an arcade cabinet, but no, this had 16bit graphics, shading and everything. It's just everything was smaller, chibi designs even. I knew Altered Beast hence what drew me to the game in the first place and this was a lot like it, right down to the bigs or whatever you kill for powerups, but it was visually different.

I didn't post any information on the game I was looking for, but I just wanted to say that I found the game that has been in the back of my memories since I was little and might possibly be the first video game I ever played.

I found this thread and having already attempted to look up the game in the past, I gave it another shot at looking. All I remembered was that it was a multiplayer shooter for the N64 with sci-fi elements in it and after 30 minutes of googling I found it.

I would sometimes get vague memories of this game and wondered if I made it up. I'm glad I got to see some gameplay of this game and find that it's actually real.

So as I was thinking about the second Java game that I played back in 2012-13, then as I was writing about it being FPS, point & click, pre-rendered graphics, the plot involving a orphan dude going back to his orphanage for some reason and finding strange stuff and having similar vibes to Silent Hill.

Then I thought couldn't it be a silent Hill Java game? And lo and behold it's exactly just that.

Silent Hill (Mobile Trilogy) – Hardcore Gaming 101

www.hardcoregaming101.net

According to Wikipedia Silent Hill is supposed to have three Java games but this site has about 6 (orphan being as mobile in EU or vice versa), so I downloaded all of them lol (be mindful of the adverts)

So I'll just move on to the third and final game that I need to look for, which is a Android 2D, side scroller, 3 lane runner game.

No worries, life does have a way of keeping us in a chokehold sometimes. Take your time!

That’s awesome that you found the second game! Must’ve been a great moment realizing it was a Silent Hill Java game all along. Pretty cool how those mobile versions flew under the radar for so long.

So I'll just move on to the third and final game that I need to look for, which is a Android 2D, side scroller, 3 lane runner game.

As for the third game, the first thing that comes to mind is Gravity Guy, though it doesn’t quite fit the "three-lane runner" part. Do you remember anything else about it? Like the art style—was it pixelated, more cartoony, or something else? Might help narrow it down a bit.

This thread turned out to be a pretty epic win. Did anybody play the java Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo? I'm pretty sure I downloaded my Motorola Razor at the time.

Oh yes I have a lot of details, I was thinking of making a seperate thread for it but I'll just post here.

• It was played in landscape orientation.
• It had cartoonish Hand drawn graphics (like the Jetsons & Flintstones, though not 100% like them since the only character that comes close to their design is a blonde girl with twin tails wearing pink dress with skirt)
• I played it in 2011, downloaded the game's apk off of mob.org (not sure if its still the same site)
• It had OpenFient in it.
• It did not exist on Play Store so it was not "logged" in my library.

---

• The gameplay was basically a small (midget) kinda dude wearing a beanie would run from left to right after hitting or shoving people, then those people would start chasing after him (sorta like temple run but 2d and without changing the direction).
• He would spank the blonde that I explained above and she would chase after him, he would shove a big boned dude and make him fall who would then start chasing after him.
• I think it also had dogs and even a grandpa/granny although I'm not sure about this.
• The area was basically a infinitely long sidewalk with fruit vendors on it and they played a crucial role.
• He (the player) would barge through those fruit and street vendors make their fruits and stuff fall all over the sidewalk which would then cause his chasers (the people he hit & ran) to trip over and lose him.
• Oh and they also try to do a "snatch jump" to catch you, a small animation plays (as a cue) so that you can dodge them by moving up & down a lane (on the 3 lanes i mentioned).

That was the whole premise of the game, it was so fun because the more people you hit the more they will start chasing after you, and you'd had to use those objects from the street vendors to make them lose you.

I was trying to draw it the other day, I basically have a entire Screenshot of this game in mind but I suck at drawing things .
So here's the only two things I sorta managed to draw.

(That blonde grabbing her butt when the player spanks her runs)
(The player who looks like a small person who's wearing a beanie and runs like Naruto while looking back)

Asking about this game on r/tipofmyjoystick was the first thing I did on reddit in 2015-16. I've tried asking about it like four times there but to no avail.
I shared this game with every high School friend of my mine, my brother and even his friends loved this game and a friend of his even asked us multiple times about it over the years but unfortunately no one remembers its name.

I don't like Tetris but I like the" Mighty Gem fighters" game on CPS2 that this game is based off of.

@FR4M3, okay, bro. I must say your description is very detailed, which is good, and the game sounds familiar. I think I've seen it before but not played it.

I've been searching for a couple of hours, but I'm afraid I haven't found any clue about the game. If you remember the device you played it on, I might keep trying.
I highly recommend posting this in a new thread.

I'm familiar with the game. Good mechanics and music. By the way, I'm subscribed to that channel.

Super Lesbian Animal RPG.

Unfortunately the Android device I played on doesn't matter because it was a clone of Scamsung S3 mini, the manufacturer's name was "naide" and the SOC was some SpreadTrum (now known as UniSOC) and it had either 256 or 512mb of ram and 4gb of internal storage and a surprisingly good 720p display.

I exchanged it for a "Nokia 2690" (which I played the silent Hill Java games on) from a friend after I Rage broke its digitizer while playing angry birds and of course couldn't find a spare one because it was a clone device.

He's long gone...

Now I kinda want to know what the game was!

 

[Judier]

OK PEOPLE THIS IS IMPORTANT
I can't seem to recall an old ass game I used to play on my PC, it was one of those early games from the 2000s that you could play on those game websites, and it's basically a space station game where you have to find your way through the milky way, battling other enemy stations between humans and two other races of aliens, one really biological and one really technological. The game had different ships that your stations can send like drones, bombers, cruisers (light and heavy) and battleships to send so that you can fight the enemy ships and then destroy the enemy space station. I don't know how to properly describe the genre of the game, I hope that this information of mine can properly help...

When you say "those game websites", you mean like a flash game website?

Hi all, when I was a child (over thirty years ago), I played a handheld which is only for a specific game. I don't know if this handheld is famous or not or traded outside of my local area.

This game is a maze-like. I controlled the character which is astronaut-like. After killing a monster, find an exit to left. Under my impression, in order to kill the monster, I have to find two boxes. If I face the monster without boxes, gameover, so better to avoid before finding the boxes. The monster will not stick an area and may move over time. If I find the two boxes and face the monster, my impression is keeping pushing buttons to kill the monster.

The screen has a direction cursor (up is moving forward; left is turning left; right is turning right; down I forgot, maybe moving backward). There are black dox sometimes on the direction cursor which mean there are boxes or a monster nearby. If black dox disappear, it must be monster moving a bit far way.

It was a very fun and memorable game, but I wonder it is known. That handheld was bought/given by my father.

Thanks for your time for reading.

I remember when I was kid, I had a psx cd, with three fighting games: Soul blade, bloody roar 2 and another one which is the game a cant remember. It was a fighting game where the characaters can fly on an environment 3D. That's all I remember. I hope you can help me with it. I have been trying to remember what was its name for several years now.

Guys, I'm pretty good at sleuth work... I solved some music mysteries in 2021 and I helped people find stuff on forums like r/TOMT and others... I also solved my own personal mysteries after over a decade...
Last year or so I was active in the Flashpoint Discord, and we would help each other find games that we'd forgotten about...
I'll be going through the posts on this thread, maybe I can help someone here.

@Judier mentioned a spacecraft game, I thought that was an RPG (?) series that I found the other day, but apparently it isn't... glad they found the answer.

Where are you from? I know there were some unique handheld games from Russia, though I'm not an expert on the topic.

Would it be Psychic Force by any chance?

No prob. I had no clue about this game but I got the answer in like 5 minutes after searching keywords.

Does anybody know this browser MMORPG that used RPG Maker XP sprites?
It was like an indie project and was in English. I played it around 2007. I remember I had an archer character that had green hair, pale skin and she wore clothing with green details as well. The picture they used showed her full body. She was an elf.
You could choose other classes/characters, but I can't recall any details about them.
There may have been a lava dungeon.
I don't remember anything else about it... it was somewhat obscure. There were hundreds of players but most people didn't know about its existence. I probably discovered it through an ad on a website...

EDIT: I think I managed to find a sprite of the character in question. It's definitely one of the default assets from the program.
